Seat 8: Daniel Camus, Belgium – 410,000

Daniel Camus is another example of a professional sportsman who has taken to the competitive game of tournament poker with aplomb. A pro football player, he was introduced to the game on the tour bus in Germany, travelling long distance with members of his team. They played to pass the time, but Camus had been honing his skills for a good while, moving from the high pressure world of high stakes cash games to the tournament format. Camus is another first-time MPNPT player, who has enjoyed his run thus far and hits the final table in confident form.
